A-ma-zing 12K

"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them."
John F. Kennedy

Today was one of those runs. The weather was beautiful, slightly chilly, but the sun was shining brightly and there was no wind. The company was exquisite and my lungs are much improved. Uber hubby took me to a new (to me) bike trail that I didn't even know we had so near our home. It was perfect to run on. Fine powder rocks are evenly distributed and it was heaven on the legs. I loved every single minute of this run.
I am incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to experience such wonderful moments of pure happiness.
So 12K at a 7.07min/km pace (with very clear negative splits), no pain and I could have kept going. I tell you, a-ma-zing!

That's it for today, but because I promised...here's the new purchase :)
Ready to go...

Have a great weekend everyone!
Cheers!
